History

Joining the Flag Fighters

A Union soldier with the rank of Master Sergeant. Another of the first Flag Fighters assigned to the Anti-Gundam Investigative Task Force "Overflags" under Graham Aker. Unlike Graham and Howard, he doesn't share their faith that a Flag can beat the Gundams. He was present during the Gundams intervention in Taribia. He participated in the intervention of Azadistan and in Operation G.

Losing Howard

Using a GNX-603T GN-X

Daryl is soon transferred to the Union's GN-X squad, where he meets Patrick Colasour and tells him not to speak ill of Graham. During "Operation Fallen Angels", he launched a suicidal attack on Gundam Dynames in order to avenge Howard Mason's death. Despite taking heavy damage from the Dynames' missiles, Daryl remained defiant to the end, his last words being "I am proud to be a Union Flag Fighter!"

By chance, Daryl's charge brought his GN-X into Lockon's blind spot, allowing his suicide attack to destroy one of Dynames' arms. This incident also led to Lockon's eventual death at the hands of Ali Al-Saachez, who used his newfound knowledge of his enemy's blind spot to critically damage Dynames and injure Lockon.
